Specifically the meeting will inform participants about the review process in preparation for the 19th ICLS; present the current proposals for the review and update of the international standards of statistics of the economically active population, employment, unemployment and underemployment; and gather feedback and promote discussion among participants to generate new ideas and further refinements to the proposed draft revisions.
